Spanish to English: Legitimacy of CSO's General field: Other
Source text - Spanish 2 Legitimacy of CSOs
Sub-topics:
_ [...] Legal Legitimacy: Legitimacy can grow from compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, such as meeting state registration requirements or delivering goods and services that meet professional standards.
_ Political Legitimacy: Some civil society actors claim issue legitimacy on political grounds, such as democratic representativeness, participation, transparency, and accountability to their constituents affected by the issue. Democratic legitimacy depends on decision processes that allow those represented to understand decisions and consequences, participate in decisions, influence results, and hold organization leaders accountable.
_ Moral Legitimacy: CSOs can ground their claims to legitimacy by action on behalf of widely held moral values and norms. Bringing food to the victims of a famine or campaigning to stop mutilation of children by land mines are activities grounded in widely held values. Such moral legitimacy is often important to CSOs, whose missions spring from value and visions of a better world.
_ Technical or Performance Legitimacy: A fourth basis for legitimacy is expertise, knowledge, information, or competence relevant to the issues in question. When a coalition of international relief and development agencies lobbies the UN on actions to cope with complex emergencies, their claims are grounded in years of experience with providing relief and development support in similar circumstances. When an alliance of senior environmental scientists takes positions on climate change, they rely on scientific expertise as a basis for legitimacy.
_ Institutional legitimacy is a long-term attribute of a CSO, typically gained over years of activity with and observation by many stakeholders. Issue legitimacy refers to credibility on a particular issue. General institutional legitimacy is not a guarantee that a CSO will be seen to have legitimacy on a particular issue:
A grassroots CSO known for representing the interests of its members will not necessarily have legitimacy on the best way to deliver rural health care. But issue and institutional legitimacy do interact: Stakeholders may well give institutionally legitimate CSOs the benefit of the doubt on particular issues, and credibility on the issues over time builds institutional legitimacy...."1

Sub-tópicos
• “[…] Legitimidad Legal: La legitimidad puede crecer desde el cumplimiento de los requisitos legales y reglamentarios, tales como cumplir con los requisitos de registro estatal o entrega de bienes y servicios que cumplan con los estándares profesionales.
• Legitimidad Política: Algunos actores de la sociedad civil reclaman la cuestión de la legitimidad sobre motivos políticos, como la representatividad democrática, la participación, la transparencia y la obligación de dar cuentas a sus electores afectados por el problema. La legitimidad democrática depende de procesos de decisión que permiten, a los representados entender las decisiones y consecuencias, participar en las decisiones, los resultados de la influencia y hacer que los dirigentes organizacionales sean responsables.
• Legitimidad Moral: Las CSO’s pueden basar sus reclamaciones de legitimidad por acción de valores morales y normas ampliamente sostenidas. Trayendo comida a las víctimas de una hambruna o realizando campañas para detener la mutilación de niños por minas terrestres son actividades que se fundamentan en valores ampliamente sostenidos. Tal legitimidad moral es frecuentemente importante para las CSO’s, cuyas misiones surgen del valor y visiones de un mundo mejor.
• Legitimidad de Desempeño o Técnico: Una cuarta base de la legitimidad es la experiencia, conocimientos, información, o la competencia pertinente para los problemas en cuestión. Cuando una coalición de ayuda internacional junto con organismos de desarrollo ejercen presión a la ONU sobre acciones basadas ampliamente para hacer frente a situaciones complejas de emergencia, sus reclamos se basan en años de experiencia en materia de socorro y ayuda al desarrollo en circunstancias similares. Cuando una alianza de altos científicos ambientales toma posiciones en cuanto al cambio climático, se basan en los conocimientos científicos como base para la legitimidad.
• La Legitimidad Institucional es un atributo a largo plazo de una CSO, la cual por lo general es adquirida por años de de actividad, con una observación de la partes implicadas. La legitimidad del asunto se refiere a la credibilidad en un asunto en particular. La legitimidad institucional general no es una garantía que una CSO será vista que posea legitimidad de un tema en particular: Los interesados también podrán otorgar a las CSO’s legitimidad institucional, el beneficio de la duda en asunto particulares, y credibilidad en los asuntos con el tiempo construye legitimidad institucional….”1
